Technical FAQs 4

How do solar panels produce electricity?

At the core of solar panels is the photovoltaic (PV) effect. When sunlight strikes the solar cells, it excites the electrons in the semiconductor material, causing them to flow through the material. This flow of electrons is what creates electricity. The more sunlight that hits the solar cells, the more electricity is generated.

How is solar energy converted into electricity?

Solar energy is converted into electricity through the photovoltaic effect, a process where sunlight, composed of photons, agitates electrons in a semiconductor material (like silicon) within solar panels. Here’s a deeper look into the full process: To find out how solar power works, you need to understand how panels are made.

How do solar panels work?

Sunlight strikes the solar cells of the solar panel. Some of the rays of light or photons pass through the outer layers of the cell and into the silicon core. When the photons enter the core, they excite and free the electrons.

How much electricity does a solar panel produce?

The amount of electricity generated by solar panels depends on factors like panel size, location, and the amount of sunlight available. On average, one solar panel can produce between 250 to 400 watts of electricity per hour. 3. How long do solar panels last?
